Russian Rye Bread -Bread Machine Recipe

This Russian Rye Bread is a nice hearty bread with a chewier crust. Most of the time I use the soft setting in my bread machine, this one calls for the normal setting, 3 hours, 40 minutes. I've made this loaf a couple times now and have to say it's one of our favorites for dinner and it makes great toast too (it's really special with orange marmalade). While I don't believe a bread machine will ever be able to make a true east coast deli rye, this one comes very close in flavor! Don't hesitate to try this bread folks, I don't think you'll be disappointed:@)
